Christian

In 2010, Christian established her cosmetics and toiletries business. She began her business in order to be self-employed and independent. Her business is located in the outskirts of the city and her customers are mostly women. She operates her business 6 days a week for 10 hours every day.

She would like a loan in the amount of 3000,000 SLL to buy stock items such as body lotion, shampoo, vaseline, soaps, toothpastes and many other products for re-sale. She hopes that this loan will help her business to grow.

In the future, Christian plans to establish another shop in order to serve customers in other neighborhoods. She says her biggest business challenge is keeping up to date with the latest products on the market.

She describes herself as caring and considerate and thanks you very much for your support.
